“Not all of us have to possess earth-shaking talent. Just common sense and love will do.”

“Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat.”

“All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop those talents.”

“Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.”

“One of the greatest challenges today is the relationship between unity and diversity. If we don't have a sense of what holds us together, what unites us - our common humanity and a common earth, a common creation, a common cosmos - then our differences, our diversity, will become cause for division and conflict, one seeking to dominate the other. But if we have a sense of what unites us, then our differences, our diversity, will enrich our lives.-Bishop Mark S Hanson”

“In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human successes, but on how well we have loved.”
